OOLY Magic Puffy Pens

Purchased to decorate shirts as a craft with my oldest granddaughter. She loved painting on clothes free-hand and using stencils I had purchased previously. We did the hair dryer together for safety, to puff up the paint. It was cool to see it puff up. I would suggest putting wax paper between layers, so you don't have bleed through.

The colors are bright and exciting, but that’s the only good thing about these puffy paints. I had to struggle just to get the ink to come out, and even after using a hair dryer as directed, the paint never puffed up. It just stayed flat no matter how many times I tried. My daughter was so disappointed because she was really looking forward to seeing the “puffy” effect. Very frustrating and not worth the money.

I was disappointed at first because I’m a millennial and I was expecting a thick paint to come out like when I used puffy paint as a kid. What came out of the pens was water. Colored water, but still clear and it quickly absorbed into the fabric and was not visible at all, so I was very angry. Then I read instruction and got out my hair dryer and set it to high heat. It made a huge difference. Still not as thick and 3D as I would have liked.

Super fun! Kinda messy. Easy to grip. Great color selection. Very durable!

It didn’t work for me. Plus getting a blow dryer out to dry didn’t work.

Use a heat gun instead of a hair dryer.

Don’t waste your money. Colors are very vibrant but did not puff up at all. Very disappointing. Not good.
